What is YouthPinoy!?


Who Are We?

YouthPinoy is an alliance of young Filipinos who bear witness to their Catholic faith through creative means of expression published in the World Wide Web. We may have come from different parishes, organizations and schools with different charisms, but we are one in sharing the mission of evangelization through online media.

Why Are We Different?

A YouthPinoy member is similar to a religious or lay missionary who braves distances and faces culture shock just to spread the Good News. But unlike missionaries who are known for their public-speaking skills, we use our talents in writing, music, design, photography, film, and art to reach out to the “unchurched” and our non-practicing brethren through cyber space. Our spiritual blogs, praise songs, and Bible reflections hope to revitalize the dormant Christian in others.

What Do We Stand For?

YouthPinoy is the face of the younger sector of the laity who echoes the same stance of the Catholic Church on religious and political issues. We uphold the social teachings of the Church in dealing with concerns in our communities in particular, and the society in general. Our stand is best described by our battle cry "Winning the World through the Word."

What Is Our Mandate?

YouthPinoy was established by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines in response to the Holy Father’s call to use the Internet as the new forum for proclaiming the Gospel. Through the CBCP’s Episcopal Commission on Youth and the CBCP Office on Mass Media, we pull our resources and talents together to give life to the YouthPinoy portal.

Are You One of Us?

Every young Catholic Filipino is technically one of us. But for those who want to step up and heed the Pope's call to become God's messenger to his fellow youth, you are invited to join our community of online missionaries. After all, there is plenty of room in cyberspace to accommodate us!
